The Cold Palace.
After a joyous gathering, it was time for the palace servants to start cleaning up the leftovers.
Guan Zhiyue is now enjoying a comfortable bath in the steamy bathroom.
The rich aroma of hot pot filled her nostrils;
It's always the same; after eating hot pot, I always end up smelling strongly of it.
It made her feel as if she were soaking in a hot pot.
Her hair was loose outside the bathtub, and her hands were resting on the edge of the tub;
She closed her eyes and recalled what Li Qishang had said to her that day, as well as the way he looked at her.
It was as if the original owner of this body had some inexplicable connection with him;
Judging from Li Qishang's behavior towards Guan Zhiyue, it must have been a beautiful and unforgettable scene. But why?
Does Guan Zhiyue not have this person in her memories?
This is the problem that has been troubling her.
What exactly is this thing that even Bi Lian doesn't know?
How long ago was this, that it could possibly be related to the carefree prince of this country?
After trying various ideas to no avail, Guan Zhiyue simply stopped worrying about the problem, shook her head, and called for Bilian to wash her hair.
She'll go to sleep after washing up, but she should get up and exercise tomorrow.
Try to lose the five pounds she gained back, otherwise, if she continues like this, she'll eventually be back to square one.
After tidying up, Guan Zhiyue scooped a cup of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
He gulped it down and then smelled himself.
Feeling very satisfied with the fragrant smell, I lay down on the bed, tossed and turned, and soon fell asleep.
Li Qiji, who came from Chaoyang Palace, covered those three kilometers.
It took him a full hour and a half to walk. He didn't know how he felt, but he actually heard his own brother call her sister-in-law.
He felt a strange excitement; for some reason, he suddenly wanted to come and see her again.
All of this seemed very abnormal, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what kind of feeling it was.
Li Qiji couldn't help but ask himself when he had started paying attention to this Empress in the Cold Palace.
Was it after Zenryo told him?
Or is it since she married him?
Or was it from the time her father, General Jianwei, came to request an imperial decree?
Or was it when his own mother pleaded for him?
He didn't know, didn't know when he had started paying attention to this little woman.
If I had to give a reason, it would definitely be related to Zenryokusen.
He kept hypnotizing himself.
He cared about her because Seonryo-seon said she was a lucky star for the Southern Kingdom.
The person who can elevate Nanding Kingdom to a higher level in the future.
Every ruler of a country hopes that during their reign over the dynasty,
Those who can achieve great things and leave their mark on history
This is the goal of every emperor, and the objective that every emperor strives for throughout his life.
To ensure that one's people do not suffer from the hardships of wind and frost,
He also did not want his people to fall into the tragedy of war, chaos, and the destruction of their homes.
This was Li Qiji's ideal; he wanted every household to be brightly lit, which was what he most desired to see.
Li Qiji convinced himself, and his steps became much lighter.
His concern for her was merely a matter of worrying about the future development and fate of the Southern Kingdom.
It has nothing to do with anything else, nothing to do with anything else.
Hua Quan and Ji Wu followed behind Li Qiji.
Seeing Li Qiji suddenly quicken his pace, they exchanged a bewildered glance.
"Your Majesty, are you going to the Cold Palace to see the Empress?"
"Does that mean we'll all have to start from now on...?"
Hua Quan, somewhat excited, flicked his whisk and jogged after him.
He looked so excited, as if he were rushing off to get married.
The three arrived at the entrance of the Cold Palace. When Hua Quan was about to knock on the door, Li Qiji stopped him.
"It's late, let's go back to the palace!"
Hua Quan seemed hesitant, unsure of what to say. They had come all this way, so why wouldn't the Emperor go in and take a look?
"yes."
The group then headed towards Chengqian Palace.
Guan Zhiyue was completely unaware of what was happening outside the gate and was currently fast asleep, having a peaceful night without any dreams.
The next morning.
Guan Zhiyue sat up in bed, feeling a slight chill.
Thinking about it, November is almost here, it's about time it gets cooler.
It's been almost a whole month since I transmigrated here.
From September 27th to October 27th, it's only been a month. Thinking about it, it really goes by quickly.
Guan Zhiyue rubbed her arms and sat up in bed.
I found a set of knitted clothes and put them on, then grabbed the modified jump rope.
He started jumping around in the yard, shouting loudly.
This time, Rosamund Kwan vowed that she would never lose weight down to 167 pounds again.
She eats a low-fat diet every day and will never touch those delicious foods again.
When Li Qishang arrived, Guan Zhiyue was already covered in sweat.
The clothes were already soaked with sweat.
The clothes, which fit her already plump figure perfectly, accentuated Rosamund Kwan's curves.
Li Qishang looked at the chubby Guan Zhiyue.
This was the first time he had seen Guan Zhiyue's large pregnant belly, as well as her big buttocks and elephant legs.
Yesterday she wore a high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which perfectly concealed Guan Zhiyue's figure.
I only noticed that she had chubby hands and a chubby face, but I didn't expect her body and belly to be even chubby.
However, he does look much better now than when he was skinny and thinner than a monkey; at least he looks much more energetic.
What are you doing here?
"There is no good food in my palace today."
Li Qishang walked to the place where Guan Zhiyue often sat.
She plopped down in her favorite rocking chair, opened her fan with a whoosh, and looked at Guan Zhiyue, who was still jumping rope.
"Little Yue'er, are you trying so hard to lose weight to seduce my royal brother?"
Guan Zhiyue, who was still panting and barely able to hold on, heard this.
Li Qishang's ruthless words caused her to stumble, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
She swayed unsteadily, and Li Qishang, seeing Guan Zhiyue about to trip, sat up straight in fright.
Just as I was about to get up to help her, Guan Zhiyue thrashed around in the air a couple of times before regaining her balance.
After calming his nerves, Li Qishang lay back down in the rocking chair and added another sarcastic remark.
"See? I knew it. Look how excited you are, you almost tripped over yourself."
Guan Zhiyue put away the rope and walked to his side;
She kicked Li Qishang's shin, saying somewhat angrily, "This grandma's diet isn't for you!"
"That 'royal brother' of mine, I'm doing this for my own weight loss."
Li Qishang looked at Guan Zhiyue curiously and said excitedly, "If it weren't for my royal brother, why would you risk your life like this?"
What are you doing? Do you think you're too long to live?
Guan Zhiyue gulped down a large mouthful of the spiritual spring water from her spatial realm. This water had been diluted by Guan Zhiyue herself.
Since the previous mud incident, Rosamund Kwan has learned to maintain a proper balance.
Guan Zhiyue has now placed spiritual spring water in the wells used for drinking in the Cold Palace and the wells used for feeding livestock in the backyard.
Didn't you listen to a single word?
Li Qishang sat up straight with curiosity, looking at Guan Zhiyue with a very inquisitive expression, and asked, "What did you say?"
"A woman dresses up for the man she loves!"
Li Qishang didn't seem to understand, because in his mind,
Even the entire South, including all the men on the continent,
They all share the same idea: that women put on makeup and dress up to please men.
Because they knew these women were their possessions.
These accessories will have to pull out all the stops to get a better gift.
Winning over their men will get you the gifts they want.
Therefore, he believed that Rosamund Kwan lost weight in order to gain the favor of her imperial brother.
Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qishang with disdain and said, "I'm losing weight for myself."
I wear pretty clothes and put on nice makeup just to please myself.
It's not that I'm trying to please anyone, especially men.
This was the first time Li Qishang had heard such an answer, and it was somewhat perplexing.
The shock Guan Zhiyue brought him grew stronger with each passing moment; at this moment, she was like a bird soaring freely.
However, now they are trapped in this cage of four square spaces.
He suddenly realized that she didn't belong here; she should belong to a wider, more unrestrained world.
Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qishang, who was staring at her blankly, and asked again, "What do you want from me?"
Li Qishang turned around and briefly explained what he had been thinking about in the palace.
To put it bluntly, they came to find Guan Zhiyue to partner with them to open a restaurant.
Especially her two-compartment copper hot pot, and that stinky tofu and stuff,
Such delicious food, if you could open a shop in the capital, making a fortune every day wouldn't be an exaggeration, right?
Guan Zhiyue stood up from the stone bench beside her, looking down at Li Qishang and said, "Alright, I understand. Let me think about it. You can go back now; I'm going to take a bath..."
"Sigh, you..."
Li Qishang watched Guan Zhiyue turn and leave, and could only shake his head and leave as well.
